Appleton, Wis.-based ThedaCare Medical Center-Orthopedic, Spine and Pain is using a new surgical table designed to improve outcomes for arthroscopic hip surgery.
The Guardian HipCheck surgical table, developed by Stryker, uses a boot-like harness and the patient’s body weight to access the hip joint, eliminating the need for a groin-area post. The technology may reduce nerve injury risk, according to a March 4 news release.
The table also enables real-time 3D imaging and measurement for greater precision during procedures such as labral tear and impingement repair. It was purchased with support from the ThedaCare Family of Foundations.
At the Becker’s 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
